Aspen Snow mass has a wide range of terrain for any level of skier or snowboarder across the 4 mountain. Buttermilk is designed for the park skiers / snowboarders and those who are beginners with lots of easy runs for those to gain confidence and develop. Snowmass has a wide range of slopes for all levels from greens for beginners to double blacks for your expert level skiers and boarders with some off-piste mixed in there as well. Aspen highlands is where the off-piste is really at. Aimed towards the more advanced and expert level skiers and snowboarder for both the groomed runs and off-piste in the bowl. Aspen I would say is the most challenging mountain but also one of the most fun for me as an advanced skier that enjoys going off-piste as well. The one main drawback for aspen is the cost of apre-ski it is very expensive with drinks tending to start at $8 for a pint and cocktails being evening more expensive. There is a lot of options however especially in aspen where most of the bars tend to close at 2am at the latest. Karaoke at silver city on a Monday night being a highlight although very busy. Food wise you have a massive selection from classic American to sushi to Italian. Most of it being reasonably priced for where you are. il poggio being the best Italian restaurant Ive been to although very difficult to get a reservation last minute.

Aspen and Snowmass have a bit of something for everyone. Long top to bottom runs to get some speed, semi-backcountry runs to find fresh powder, terrain parks to test your skills and so much more. When I last visited the stoke that happened on mountain continued at Ranger Station. Aspen is never crowded (besides x-games) but is a bit pricey so I would recommend the IKON pass if you go. Overall one of my favorite places to ride.
